Abstract: A ski rope holder which allows a user to wind up a ski rope without tangling it and to store it in a small space. The ski rope holder has a spool mounted inside of a housing. The spool, which is operated by a crank located on the outside of the housing, mounts a lead rope. The lead rope has a hook for attaching to a ski rope. The housing also mounts a handle, for easy operation of the ski rope holder, and a clip, for the attachment of a ski rope handle during storage. In use, a ski rope that is attached to the lead rope of the ski holder can be wound up and payed out as necessary. When the rope is fully out, the ski rope can be disconnected from the ski rope holder and attached to a hook on the rear of the boat. This attachment to the rear of the boat insures that the ski rope will not become entangled with the motor of the boat.
